'I've just had a crazy thought' - Ian Wright predicts Liverpool v Man City result

Ian Wright has given his thoughts on this weekend's huge Premier League title showdown between Liverpool and Manchester City at Anfield.

Liverpool go into the game on the back of a dramatic 1-0 victory at Nottingham Forest on Saturday thanks to a 99th-minute Darwin Nunez winner. That ensured the Reds went four points clear of City at the top of the table.

However, the defending champions reduced the points difference between the teams to one on Sunday. City came from behind to beat rivals United in the Manchester derby 3-1 at the Etihad.

But the old foes are not the only sides in the thick of the title race. Arsenal continued their excellent run of form on Monday night when they thrashed relegation-doomed Sheffield United 6-0 at Bramall Lane. It was the Gunners' seventh straight league win - during which time they have scored 31 goals.

Pep Guardiola has got Liverpool stuck in his head - they're his worst nightmare

Arsenal, who are two points behind Liverpool in third, would go top with victory in the late Saturday kick-off at home to Brentford. But then all eyes will turn to Merseyside on Sunday when Jurgen Klopp's and Pep Guardiola's juggernauts go head to head.

Wright, one of the finest goalscorers of the Premier League era, will have a vested interest as a Gunners legend. But after joking about how he'd like the big game to go, he gave his verdict on who he thinks will come out on top.

Speaking on the Kelly and Wrighty Show, he said: “I’ve just had a crazy thought. Can both of them lose? That came into my head. Can both lose for Arsenal please?

“But no, you look at it from Liverpool’s point of view, is it at the Etihad? It’s at Anfield!
